Frisbee, Trac-Ball, Hula-Hoop, Slip’N Slide, Water Wiggle, Monster Bubbles, Silly
String and Super-Ball: these are just a few of the popular toys that WHAM-O produced
over the past 70 years.
I had all of them and loved ‘em all! As a kid I could always count on WHAM-O to produce
unusual, innovation and fun toys to play with.
The Frisbee and Super-Ball were my favorites although I
had fun with all of the toys.
In the WHAM-O
Super Book author Tim Walsh takes readers on a 70 year thrill ride as he chronicles
the birth, growth and story of WHAM-O.
Learn about the many products made by the company and the
creative geniuses behind the whack-o creations that were kick-started when two
good friends came up with a crazy idea, marketed it and viola! WHAM-O was born.
The book is filled with archival photos, product
advertisements and lots of history.
Witness the growth of WHAM-O, its successes, its
failures, testimonies by those who worked for the company and much more.
For a wonderful celebration of 70 years of fun be sure to
pick up this fascinating visual journey that successfully brings back childhood
memories.
I’d forgotten about how many products WHAM-O produced-it’s
quite impressive as is the book.
